To veto or not? All eyes are DeSantis, sovereign immunity bill
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis must decide by June 30 whether to sign or veto HB 145, a bill raising sovereign immunity caps for negligence lawsuits. The legislation faces opposition from education groups citing financial risks to school districts and support from the Florida Justice Association, which represents trial attorneys. DeSantis has previously vetoed similar bills backed by the trial bar group.
